92. Libraries & Frameworks & Build Tools & Compilers
93. A sufficiently advanced build tool is indistinguishable from a compiler.
94. With libraries, you call them.
95. With frameworks, they call you.
96. Compilers make the phone.
97. We can compile our styles.
98. We can compile our code.
99. Can we compile our apps?
100. What if jQuery were a compiler?
102. asm.js
103. asm.js targets a performant subset of JS.
105. asm.dom should target a performant subset of the DOM.
106. Virtual DOM
107. 2. The future?
108. 3. One weird trick.
109. dependencies
110. new languages
111. new APIs
112. control flow
113. runtime
114. Let's use virtual DOMs as our asm.dom
117. cooking → human productivity compiling → developer productivity
118. Let's start cooking.
119. Thank you.
120. Join us tomorrow at 16:30 to talk about the future of frameworks.
